Homeland Security's Space-Based Spying Goes Live
BountyX writes "While America's attention has shifted to the economic meltdown and the presidential race between corporate favorites John McCain and Barack Obama, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) National Applications Office (NAO) 'will proceed with the first phase of a controversial satellite-surveillance program, even though an independent review found the department hasn't yet ensured the program will comply with privacy laws.' NAO will coordinate how domestic law enforcement and 'disaster relief' agencies such as FEMA use satellite imagery intelligence (IMINT) generated by US spy satellites. Based on available evidence, hard to come by since these programs are classified 'above top secret,' the technological power of these military assets are truly terrifying."
You never needed to stop. In fact, it made me very sad when you stopped. I had to *pay* for porn again.

Sales of golf umbrellas and large-brimmed sombreros went through the roof.
You're using her as bait, Master!
Oh, yeah it is! Don't fool yourself. You guys who think you know about imaging have no idea. Just hold your newspaper slanted a bit so they can read over your shoulder. Posted AC on purpose. This is not a joke.
Then limit your lawbreaking to only cloudy days.

That's my argument for going out naked. I try to explain to the cops that this way they can see I'm not carrying drugs. Thus far my success rate is roughly fail.

Yes, so people are 1 pixel.
HEY! That pixel just flipped me off!
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
Mod this up and the parent down, or you're a terrorist. And don't forget to vote McCain at the election!
Another reason to never go outside. Ever.
Sig this!
Just look at (what is left) of the Constitution.
Obama will save us! Hope and change!
When'd you get out? Fellow HUMINTer here.
2003, but my first stint was back in the good ol' days of the cold war, '87-'93, when we were still called "Interrogator/Linguist".
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.

The article does sound rather garish, but considering systems within systems, parallel to systems, and funky classifications invented by paranoid department heads and Dick Cheney coming up with his own stamps with his own classifications of, "Shhh. Don't Tell Anyone" I find it hard to believe that things are nearly so well-ordered as you portray.
Do you have any odd memory gaps or personality quirks which you didn't have before you entered the service? Even if there has been zero improvement over the mind control systems used in the Seventies, then chances are you wouldn't even suspect a violation.
After all. . , is posting in widely read public forums to boast about credentials an encouraged activity for a HUMINT Collector?
You're fishy as hell regardless of what your real story happens to be, and if you are what you say you are, then you're probably a lot further gone than you realize. You have my sincere condolences if that's the case.
